It was only last June
When her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying
'Cause she knew he was gone to stayIt was ten thirty-five on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar,
She was lookin' alright, yeahI asked if she wanted to dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified, yeah
And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your manIt hurt me so bad when she told me
With tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes)
He was all she ever had
And now she wanted to dieHe left her with a baby
And another one on the way, yeah
She couldn't stop cryin'
'Cause she knew he was gone to stayShe asked me if we could be friends
And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end
You know and I know
That we wouldn't be satisfied
No
And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
You wouldn't be satisfied (wouldn't be satisfied)
With a one night stand (uh, uh, uh)And I could never take the place of your man, oh
Yeah, yeah, the place of your man (uh, uh, uh)
